Advantech’s wireless device server brings RS-232/422/485 to your WLAN or LAN. Allowing nearly any device with a serial port to be connected to and shared on a WLAN, our wireless device server provides a quick, simple, and cost-effective means of bringing the advantages of remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices that would otherwise be unable to connect to a network.
With our wireless device server, your existing serial devices can be used with the most popular operating systems on the market. There is no need to write special drivers for specific operating systems. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs or software programming, which can save a considerable amount of cost and effort. You can also actively request data or issue commands from the RS-232/422/485 side or WLAN side, and data can be sent bilaterally. Thus, our wireless device server is particularly suitable for remote monitoring systems such as those used in security, factory automation, SCADA, transportation, and more.

Advantech’s USB serial device server allows PC users to connect serial devices via a LAN to systems that use USB interfaces such as USB monitors, printer, and scanners. USB-to-LAN serial device servers enhance user-intuitiveness and efficiency while cutting hardware requirements and other costs, and they enable the immediate conversion of connected devices, thus allow access from anywhere on your network. With hot swap and bus-powered support, our USB-to-LAN serial device servers avoid delays and problems from having to restart complex equipment, and there is no need for an external power supply. Our hot-swappable USB device servers come with bundled software, thus requiring no further card slots or IRQ addresses to be setup, a simple way to extend and share your USB device over long distances, for multiple users connected to your Ethernet network maintaining a virtual environment.
